Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Doctor Han truly admired Guan Tong for having such superb medical skills at a young age.

“Alright, stop pretending. She’s already gone.” Guan Tong had already noticed that Lu Han had woken up. This arrogant man was looking at her like she was a clown.

“Your medical skills are not bad.” Lu Han felt much better.

Guan Tong rolled her eyes. Even a blind man could tell that her medical skills were good. Lu Han was shocked when he saw Guan Tong roll her eyes. Why did Guan Tong’s actions look so similar to that woman’s? What was the relationship between the two? And where did Guan Tong’s medical skills come from?

Lu Han knew about the substitute marriage, yet he still chose to keep Guan Tong by his side. Lu Han did not care who Guan Tong was, as long as she didn’t cause any problems for him. However, if Guan Tong were related to that woman, it would be an entirely different story.

“Who exactly are you?” Lu Han’s expression turned stern as he asked her. Guan Tong felt that the man in front of her was crazy. How could he suddenly turn aggressive in an instant like this?

“I’m Lin Fei. Oh, at the same time, I’m your savior.” Guan Tong nodded. She felt that what she said was correct.

Lu Han was speechless. He knew that this girl wasn’t telling the truth. However, since Guan Tong had saved his life, he wouldn’t mind letting it slide for now. 

At the same time, in the other castle.

“Lu Han’s illness is almost cured.” Liu Juan’s voice was heard through her gritting teeth.

A man’s voice was heard on the other side, “Cured? How is that possible? That poison was a strong one. Even the Gods couldn’t save him.”

“Just believe what I say. I saw Lu Han spit out a mouthful of black blood with my own eyes. Doctor Han said that as long as Lu Han’s willpower is strong, he will wake up from his comatose state soon.” Liu Juan explained in full detail.

“Then let’s weaken his willpower. In any case, we can’t let him wake up from his comatose state.” If Lu Han were to wake up, Liu Juan would never achieve her goals in the younger sibling family.

“How about we go all out…” Liu Juan had the same thought as the man on the phone. 

“What do you have in mind? How many people have you sent, and did any single one of them achieve your goal?” Liu Juan had sent people to assassinate Lu Han before, but he was intelligent and cunning. He walled himself up in the iron. Anyone that Liu Juan sent found it difficult even to enter his chamber in the first place.

“Then what do you think we should do?” Liu Juan was flustered and desperate for a solution.

“Alright, let’s do it then.” Liu Juan hung up the phone. It seemed that she had to find Qiao Ran. She hoped that the girl would succeed in seducing Lu Han. Even if Liu Juan could not kill Lu Han, Liu Juan could plant a spy by his side. 

A few days passed. Guan Tong’s life was peaceful. However, the incident of hearing Liu Juan’s phone call in the garden that day had always been stuck in her head. She was not afraid of her enemies that came face-to-face, but she was scared that her enemies were in the dark. Guan Tong couldn’t tell when Liu Juan would make her move. 

“What are you thinking about?” Lu Han’s physical condition had improved a lot after a few days of acupuncture. At the very least, he no longer had that pale complexion that he used to.

“Nothing.” Guan Tong answered nonchalantly.

Lu Han put down the book in his hand. Was Guan Tong losing weight these past few days? Why did he feel that her face had got bony and her cheeks all sunken? Lu Han was already used to seeing the scars on Guan Tong’s face at this point, so it was not his greatest concern.

“Do you think Grandmother will visit us again?” Guan Tong had a feeling that Old Madam would show up again today. At the mention of the Old Madam, Lu Han also clutched his forehead. Grandmother’s obsession with her great-grandson was unbelievable.

Speaking of the Devil, the Old Madam suddenly came into their chamber.

“Tongtong, look who I brought with me.” Old Madan said as Doctor Han followed her into the room.

“Quick, have a look at my granddaughter-in-law.” The Old Madam was overjoyed. She could no longer wait for an answer. Today was the day she wanted to know about her grandson. Doctor Han went forward to check Guan Tong’s pulse.

“To answer Old Madam’s question…” Doctor Han said as he held Guan Tong’s wrist in his hand. The Old Madam’s gaze was burning.

“Madam is not yet pregnant.” Doctor Han said these words with great difficulty under Old Madam’s pressure.

Sure enough, the light in the Old Madam’s eyes dimmed after she heard the disappointing news.

“Old Madam, please don’t worry. The Young Master and Madam are still young. There are plenty of opportunities.” Doctor Han said.

“Hmm, alright. Could it be that one of you is infertile?” Old Madam had doubts in her heart.

Guan Tong’s hair almost stood on end. She was afraid that Madam might suspect that she was infertile.

“Old Madam, please don’t overthink of it. We just need to recuperate Young Master’s conditions. And he wouldn’t need to take more herbal mixtures for the time being.” Doctor Han knew the inside story of this matter and thought that if he could get rid of the herbal mixtures fed to Lu Han daily, he would.

“Hmm, okay then.” Old Madam finally decided to put her faith in Doctor Han.

Suddenly, the Old Madam’s face turned pale. Did Doctor Han just say that Han’er might be infertile?

“Then you have to take care of Han’er and Tongtong’s health from them to conceive a baby as soon as possible.” As she spoke, she looked at Guan Tong with compassion.

This kind of gaze made Guan Tong a little confused. What was wrong with the Old Madam today? Why was she always looking at her like this? On the other hand, Liu Juan was overjoyed that Lu Han didn’t have a child, so she and the girl still had a slight chance of winning.

“Don’t worry, Old Madam.” Doctor Han didn’t know what he had said wrong.. Why was Old Madam looking at him like this?
